Thought I'd give a quick report of my first range outing with my new G29SF. It was a BEAUUUUUTIFULLL 75 degree day here in St Louis today so I figured the outdoor range would be packed. I pulled up and walked up and got in RIGHT away, no wait. Get to my stall, set all my schtuff up and setup my target when the rangemaster said the line was clear...

I had brought several loads with me (probably close to 500 rounds with me JUSTTT cause I like options...)...

Here are the loads I fired from my bone stock G29SF. I only fired 10-20 rounds of each load since I was pressed for time and fired all shots today at only 7 yards, also due to time. Beside the load are the rudimentary notes I had for each load, if any...

NONE of the above loads bulged any of the brass to any obvious degree, which really surprised me as, from the looks of it, the stock barrel is quite wide (measured .435" with calipers). None of my recovered brass measured any larger than .433". I had ZERO stoppages and ejection was smart to the right and over my shoulder.

Here are the pics of the range and my targets. I was hurrying the whole time and got a bit fatigued by the time I was running the 165's but I kept going. I need another range day to sort out my findings ... but I WILL say that I've narrowed my powders down to three powders from here on out (assuming availability). HP38, Longshot and Blue Dot.

BTW... take a look at my target stand.... I got the gimped out stand but I swear, its because it was scared of my 10mm..... LOL.

Thanks guys! I'm excited! Its great to have a G29 back in the house...

Its got the new style RSA. I'd never seen anything like this RSA before in any Glock I've seen.... and I've seen two different older G29's so I know what the old style looks like. This is the new style. Gen4 style, is the rumor.

I don't plan on changing out this RSA with anything else. I'm also not changing out my trigger on this pistol... its got a sweet stock trigger.

Nick can you post a picture of the RSA from the G-29SF you have? Sounds interesting!

Yea... I can... however, GT member Novasquid had a post over in General Glocking last month showing both of his G29's ... one with the old-style and one with the new-style RSA... Mine is the new style (pictured on the right).

Same here. I have a G35 modded with a LW UTS and Ghost 3.5 connector. The 29SF I just picked up has a reset just as short, just with a slightly heavier pull.

Actually, the trigger feels so nice that I'm thinking about selling the 35 to get a 20SF.
